Story
Meet Branch!
A playful one-and-a-half-year-old Labrador Retriever mix from Woodstock, GA, whose youthful energy is wrapped in a beautiful tan coat. This affectionate boy is ready to be your loyal companion, with a love for walks, chasing tennis balls, and curling up next to you for some well-deserved snuggles! At seventy-eight pounds, Branch is a large dog who adores being part of the action, whether it’s playing fetch or simply keeping you company around the house.
Branch is a bright pup, and though he hasn’t had formal obedience training yet, he’s already mastered the basics like sit, stay, and even shake. He’s a quick learner, especially if a treat is involved, and with a little more training, he’d probably be happy to show off more tricks like rolling over! Branch is the kind of dog who thrives on attention and will happily follow you from room to room, just to make sure you’re never lonely (and maybe to see if you’re dropping any tasty snacks).
When it comes to other pets, Branch is selective with dogs—he prefers to meet new canine friends slowly and on his terms. However, he’s great with cats, and has a gentle way about him that’s endearing. He’s also wonderful with kids and loves to be part of a lively household, though his playful side means a fenced yard is ideal for him to safely romp around in.
Branch is protective of his family and may bark at unfamiliar dogs or people, especially if they startle him, but once he sniffs them out and realizes they’re no threat, he’s happy to relax! He has shown this protective instinct in the past when, after being startled by a neighbor's small dog who barked at him, Branch reacted defensively to protect his space and family. A family that understands his need for a secure environment and a little extra patience during introductions would be perfect.
This sweet boy is house-trained, crate-trained, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccinations, so he’s all set for his new adventure! Could your family be the perfect match for this lovable, curious, and playful pup? If so, Branch can’t wait to meet you and become your new best friend!
